Jim,
If this bill passes the senate, and the President does not veto it, what then will be your, and 'Free Republic LLC', position as to advocacy and further support of George W. Bush?

Hypothetical: It's 1904 and you have a choice of voting for Teddy Roosevelt, a patriot, a man of honesty and integrity, a "big-defense guy" but one who clearly does NOT see any problem with business-bashing or infringing on SOME constitutional liberties, OR you can vote for the socialist (Eugene Debs) or the "Populist Democrat," William Jennings Bryan, who wanted total isolationism, an income tax, government ownership of all railroads and grain elevators, and rampant government-sponsored inflation.

I will fight against this bill with everything I have, but the world keeps turning, and REGARDLESS of what he does with this bill, I have to think that Bush is so superior in other important ways for the Republic that it would be assinine to vote for a DEM (which is what a vote for anyone else is).

In 4 years, I haven't seen much "advocacy" from JR.

Yeah, maybe he gets practical and pragmatic when confronted with reality but for this most part FR has rolled along as a free wheel. Many of us try to push him in different directions to get him to advocate things, but he ususally blows it off unless things reach critical mass.

If there is advocacy it's in regard to the constitution and conservatism ....even libertarianism, rarely if ever candidates.
